Hello, fellas. I've been reading and reading to the point I've nearly confused myself, so what I'd like to do is let the "market" decide.
I am having trouble making my mind up regarding which of two guns to sell. I have two type-3 LC Smith hammer guns, both made after 1904. Condition for each is nearly identical. One has "Fine London Twist" and the other "Damascus". Bores for both guns are in great shape, never honed, uncut, ring great, etc. I suppose the ideal thing would be to hoard both of them, but I've pretty well decided to sell one of them. From a performance standpoint, is one construction type "superior" to the other, or are all of these barrel types pretty much the same in regards to shooting safely with the proper loads?
From a beauty standpoint, I think most would prefer the damascus pattern. That aside, is there really a difference in strength or longterm durability if properly preserved?
Am I even asking the right question?
Will
